Vice President Nixon told his audiences in Idaho and Washington that only through President Eisen hower's "partnership policy" can the "natural resources of the West be fully developed. "The Hell's Canyon debate," he said, "typifies this issue." He went on to say that "we are for whatever program can produce the power we need at the lowest cost." Let us take a look at how the facts bear out the vice president Under the Eisenhower program the Idaho Power Co. is building two, perhaps three, small dams on the Snake River at the Idaho-Oregon border. These pri vate projects have been given preference over a public project for a high federal dam which would have afforded full development of the most valuable re maining waterpower site in the United States. The Idaho Power dams, compared with the federal dam which the Eisenhower Administration has re jected, represent a loss to the West of as much electric power as the entire prime output of Bonneville. They represent a loss to the West of nearly three fourths of the water storage that could restrain floods and enhance the production of downstream power plants by regulating stream flow. TPHEY represent a loss to the West of electric power which could be produced at the low figure of 2.71 mills a kilowatt-hour. They represent a saddling on the West of high private power production costs of 6.69 mills a kilowatt hour more than double the amount! Finally, the private project represents a loss to the West of an opportunity to develop extensive de posits of phosphate ore for use as fertilizer to enrich the farms of the region. That development would be made possible by means of cheap electricity that would be produced at Hells Canyon. Idaho Power's electricity will not be cheap. see LJELLS CANYON is the example of Mr. Nixon's own 1 choosing. He could hardly have selected an exam ple which typified more completely the deliberate incomplete development of a great natural resource, the production of electric power at unnecessarily high cost. It is on the basis of this performance that Mr. Nixon asks the voters of Oregon to elect to the Senate Douglas McKay, who as secretary of interior was the man most directly responsible for. the Hells Canyon debacle. On the same basis he asks Oregonians to retire Sen. Wayne Morse, who has fought zealously for the full development of their natural resources. And on the same basis the vice president calls for the voters of Idaho to reelect Sen. Welker, an isolationist who has joined the bloc of Republicans-against-Eisen-hower on many issues. Vice President Nixon is the second ranking official of the party which has set "truth squads" to trail Democrat candidates. It would take a truth battalion to correct the distortions which the Californian has left at Hells Canyon. GORRY, but we can't take credit for the above. It is a reprint of an editorial in a "bigger and better" newspaper than the Mail Tribune i.e. : The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ' The Post-Dispatch has no axe to grind as far as Hells Canyon and the area it serves is concerned. We doubt if even Mr. Nixon would call this journalistic off-spring of the grand old New York World, a "leftish" or a Red "communist sheet." It just happens to be an independent paper with a genuine interest in conservation and the production of more and cheaper power, not only in Oregon but throughout the USA. That is one of the chief reasons it condemned the policies of Mr. McKay when he was Secretary of the Interior, and on these two issues is a strong supporter of Senator Morse. "I17E BELIEVE it is interesting and should be profit- able for the people of Oregon in a hot senatorial campaign like this one to get the views of newspapers of high standing and influence outside of the state as well as within. R.W.R. As to Communications With only about 30 days left before election and the partisan tempo sure to rise, it appears necessary to again point out this paper's rules and regulations particularly regarding communications of a political nature. We welcome them regardless of the party slant but we will not print communications of any kind over 400 words in length, nor any where the identity of the writer can not be established. We have received more political offerings this year than ever before signed with name and address, but upon investigation have found neither to be genuine. It has therefore become necessary where the name and address can't be verified by the local direc tory or telephone book, to make a special check, and needless to say this takes time, and therefore causes delay if not rejection. We have received several complaints of non-publication in this area, which have been due entirely to the necessity of such action. The fault has been not with this paper but with our communicants. HTHERE is another point which needs to be'clarified. Some years ago we made it a rule that all commu nications of a purely political or controversial nature must be signed by the name and address of the writer and printed so. In other words a distinction was made between controversial and non-controver- Sunday. October 7, 1956 Matter of Fact uy stewon ai50P THE MYSTERY OF WHEATSHEAF STREET Montclair, N. J. There is good news for Dwight D. Eisen hower on Wheatsheaf Street, Roselle, New Jersey. There , is also a mystery on Wheatsheaf Street the mystery that makes American poli tics so endless ly absorb i n g and excitipg and puzzling. The houses on Wheatsheaf Street are small, two -story houses built since the Stewart Alsop warj neat! anrj rather pretty, and structurally al most identical. The people who live in them are proud of them. Beside almost every front door there is a small ironwork orna ment a railroad engine, an old fashioned car, a dog. There are flowers around the front steps, and on about every third lawn there is a pink plaster flamingo, or perhaps duck followed by plaster ducklings. A cop lives in the corner house he is off duty, raking hi,s lawn. The re is a long-haul trucker in another, a unionized aircraft worker in another, a white col lar man in a utility company in another. Racially, Wheatsheaf Street is a mixture German and Polish and Irish and Yankee stock. Economically, it is on the blurred borderline a mixture of union workers, white collar workers, and very small bus inessmen with the former pre dominating. IITHEATSHEAF STREET, in a " word, is like a thousand other streets on the outskirts of every big American city. But in its very ordinariness lies its mys tery. Thii reporter and his partner, in their wanderings over the land, have visited other Wheat sheaf Streets. There was a Wheatsheaf Street, under an other name, n the outskirts of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was the same street, right down to the pink flamingoes. And there was a Wheatsheaf Street, flamingoes and all, in Portland, Oregon. The Wisconsin Wheatsheaf Street was heavily Democratic, as it had been in 1952. The Port land Wheatsheaf Street was also normally Democratic, but it had swung in large part to Dwight Eisenhower in 1952, and a sin ister portent for the Republicans looked like sw'nEin6 back again. Roselle's Wheatsheaf Street went heavily for Eisen hower in 1952 and it is stick ing by him solid as a rock. HPHIS conclusion is based on a door-to-door check of Wheatsheaf Street and the surrounding area by this reporter and three crews from Louis Harris Associates, the public opinion survey organiza tion. For what they are worth, the statistical results of our sur vey were 64 per cent for Eisen hower, 30 per cent for Steven son, 6 per cent undecided a re markable Eisenhower majority in an area with many union members. More significantly, we found only one voter a voluble lady in a green dress who had voted for Eisenhower in 1952 and was now thinking of voting for Stev enson. Asked why, she replied: "So far Eisenhower's been won derful, but why not give some body else a break?" We came upon other peculiar reactions, like that of another lady, who said: "Eisenhower is very straightforward but he wastes too much money." But more often there was the refrain you hear from Eisenhower voters from one end of the country to another: "Eisenhower's a man you can trust, and I think he'll keep us out of war." The refrain of the Stevenson voters "The Republicans are for the big shots, and the Democrats are for the little guy" was very rare. After Wheatsheaf Street, we moved on to Greenwood Avenue, sial offerings, to the "letter box" and that is the rule today. The former must in all cases be signed. The latter need not be if the writer wishes anonymity and has a valid reason for it, but the correct name will be placed on file not for publication at any time, but only to answer inquiries as to the identity of the writer if and when they occur. (It might be added that through the many years this regulation has been in force such inquiries have been very few and far between.) , DUT the point we wish to make particularly clear at this time is that offerings of a political nature from whatever source must be signed by the writer, and the writer identified. If this were not done we would be flooded by letters of a political and controversial character, with the request that the name of the author be withheld. Finally, this has been pointed out many times before but apparently it needs to be stated again. . While the Mail Tribune gives a greater percentage of free space to its critics than any other newspaper in the state, and is the only newspaper that gives free space to both sides in a political-campaign three times each week, there is no obligation to print EVERY THING of a political nature it receives, signed or unsigned, it reserves the right as does every news paper in the country to decide what is most news worthy and what isn't. Otherwise in a hot campaign like this one there would be room for nothing else. R.W.R. here in Montclair, and again we found good news for Eisenhower. Greenwood Avenue and its side streets are occupied by middle class Negroes, who live decently in houses which are older but bigger than those on Wheatsheaf Street. THE Negroes of the area of Greenwood Avenue will vote Democratic, but in nowhere near the same overwhelming propor tions as their economic equiva lents in the better apartment houses in Harlem. Instead of better than three to one, tp in Harlem, the Negroes of Green wood Avenue tend Democratic by a ratio of only three to two, and there are real signs of a shift to Eisenhower. The difference between the voters of Greenwood Avenue and the prosperous Harlemites can he explained in terms of "the Len Hall Rule" that peo ple who live in apartments, how ever well off, tend Democratic, and people who live in their own houses, however debt-ridden, are drawn to the Republicans. But how is the rmazing difference between Roselle's Wheatsheaf Street and its equivalents in Mil waukee or Portland to be ex plained? The answer would tell a lot about this puzzling cam paign, but this reporter does not pretend to know what it is. (C) 195S New York Herald Tribune Inc. Today and By Walter THE TIMES WE LIVE IN At Cleveland and Lexington this week the President insisted "that there are deep and essen tial differences in the beliefs and convic tions of the two major par ties." I do not believe the facts support this theory. For while there are dif f e r e n ces be- ttalter LiDDmajm tween the two part ies, they are not very deep or essential in the field of their beliefs and their convictions. The new Re publicanism which the Presi dent proclaimed at the San Fran cisco convention does not chal lenge, indeed it accepts and pro poses to extend, all the big in novations which were made by Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. This covers not only the vast structure of the new welfare state, the federal protec tion of agriculture, the regula tion of business and of banking, but also that most far-reaching of reforms within the western capitalist order the acceptance of federal responsibility for full employment and for the man agement of the business cycle. These innovations which have meant a vast extension of the federal power have little con nection with the essential beliefs and convictions of either party. As a matter of fact, according to their historic tradition which descends from Alexander Ham ilton and Lincoln, the Republi cans should be the Federalist party. They were that in the 19th century and down through the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. It has not been ideol ogy but history, the turn of events in this century, which has made the Democrats over into the Federalist party. THE great reversal of roles took place in 1912. There had been building up for some 20 years before that a strong popular demand for public con trol of the excesses of the new corporate individualism. Presi dent Theodore Roosevelt, that is to say the Republican Roose velt, undertook to make the Re- Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address or the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial tor oublication is permissible.

Would Sell Out TVA To the Editor: Shortly after taking office, President Eisen hower appointed Dr. Dean Man ion and ex-President Herbert Hoover to head two study groups for the purpose of determining the appropriate areas of activity for the Federal government particularly in the power field. In order to get an idea of the political beliefs of Dr. Manion, I would like to give a portion of a TV appearance in which he was interviewed by William Wise, former deputy administra tor of the Rural Electrification Administration. "Mr. Wise Dean Manion, I wonder if you agree with my favorite Republican of all times that the government should do for the people which they cannot do for themselves or that which they cannot do so well for them selves? I refer of course to Abra ham Lincoln. "Dr. Manion No I do not agree with Abraham Lincoln. "Mr. Wise Do you agree that the test should be not whether the states should have the power but whether or not it is neces sary for the Federal Govern ment to take certain action in Tomorrow Lippmann publican party the agent of the reforms which the times called for. Until 1908, while he was stiU in the White House, he suc ceeded very well indeed. But under his successor, the party did not follow him. In 1912, the Republicans split over the ques tion of reform, and Woodrow Wilson not only won the elec tion of 1912 but made the Dem ocrats into the party of modern ism and 20th century reform. The Democrats have been that ever since. As a young man, Franklin Roosevelt was in fact, I think I am right in this, a dis ciple of his great relative Theo dore. But after 1912 anyone who had such ideas joined the Demo cratic party. The Republican party has always had a hanker ing for its old Federalist tradi tion. This expressed itself in the' nomination of Wendell WUlkie in 1940, of Dewey in 1944 and 1948, and of Eisenhower in 1952. But the Republican party, as an organization and in Congress, has remained what it was when it split in 1912 a rump of those who oppose what Theodore Roosevelt stood for, namely the modernization of our economic institutions and the emergence of the United States as a world power. IN CONSEQUENCE, the Demo crats have in this century be come the agents for bringing our public policy and institutions abreast of the changing times. There; have been, as it were, two political cycles each with a period of innovation followed by a period of correction and consolidation. In the innovating phases the country has turned to the Democrats, as with Wil son and with Franklin Roose velt. In the correcting and con solidating phase, the country has turned to the Republicans, as with Coolidge and Eisen hower. THERE is substantial evidence, I believe, for thinking that for the third' time in. this cen tury the country is coming into an innovating phase. This is, I submit, the reason for the extra ordinary upsurge of the Demo crats at the grass roots. The new phase is caused once again by the country's need to bring its policies and measures abreast of the times. In the period of Theodore Roosevelt and of Wil son, there was need to impose social and public standards on corporation capitalism. In the period of Franklin Roosevelt there was the need to overcome the miseries which the great de pression revealed and provoked. It led to the welfare state and to the public regulation of the business cycle. The period into which we have now entered is dominated by two new historic develop ments. The one is the phenome nal increase of the American population. The other is the challenge and the dangerous competition of the Communist orbit. These developments will require great innovation and, unavoidably, a great expansion of public action at all the levels of government, foremost among them at the federal level. Once again, regardless of how the Presidential election comes out, the Democrats seem des tined to become the agents of these innovations. For while President Eisenhower would like to give the Republicans that role, there is little evidence that the Republicans who will suc ceed him are much concerned about it. j Copyright. 1956, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Letters submitted for publication must what to protect and advance for the general welfare of all the people to the greatest good for the greatest number? "Dr. Manion No, I don't. "Mr. Wise Do you agree that there is no one other than the Federal Government large enough to do certain things which have been done during this last 20 years to which you have re ferred? I would like to ask you with respect to certain specific action: one, the TVA. "Dr. Manion I think the TVA should be sold to private busi ness. "Mr. Wise Do you think pri vate business would have built TVA projects in the first place? "Dr. Manion I don't think the Federal Government should have built the TVA in the first place." Surely President Eisenhower must be held responsible for the Dean Manions, the Herbert Hoo vers and the Douglas McKays who after all must have reflected the boss' views. It is going to be very interesting to hear what Mr. Eisenhower has to say to the power minded Northwest when he returns accompanied by, an other man who walked out on us Douglas McKay. Ken Corliss, 1564 Myers lane, Medford, Ore. Humane Society To the Editor: I only know what I read in the newspapers and lately I have read news items, an editorial, and com munications all concerning the humane society. From these I judge something must be wrong. Through the years what was or ganized and incorporated as a non-profit and charitable society for the prevention of cruelty has become a boarding kennel. Dur ing the years of inactivity money was received from donations, county and state funds for pay ment of salaries and operating costs. Now there is a kind man to underwrite these expenses and some fine citizens have become directors. But where is the hu mane officer and when will a program be inaugurated to ac complish the work that humane societies generally do? If it is still to be a business why bother? I have yet to hear of another bus iness that expec's to be main tained by donations and public funds. Mrs. E. O. Green, 1039 Crater Lake ave., Medford, Ore. Communisim Issue Again To the Editor: Just a few ques tions to my Democratic friends who are now writing to "The Editor" in such glowing terms of Sen. Wayne Morse: 1. Did they vote for Senator Morse in 1950? If they did they did more than the undersigned registered Republican did. 2. If they didn't vote for him in 1950, why .are they voting for him in 1956? Surely it is not because, as of now, he is a regis tered Democrat? Could it be that they now consider he has chang ed so much in the past six years that they now feel he is the champion of the double talk? 3. What happened to the Inde pendent party? Is his next move to the Morse party? 4. Were not both houses in Washington controlled by the Democrats these past two years? It must be that the Editor of the Mail Tribune must be trying to tell the people of Southern Ore gon that all of these "awful woes" were not caused by this last Congress. 5. Does Senator Morse frank ly admit that the Communist party is not a threat to the Unit ed States? W. E. Driscoll Sr., 1120 South Oakdale ave., Medford, Ore. . Who U Emotional? To the Editor: Some of the most entrancing reading at this stage of the campaign is supplied by editors who, never having within the memory of man sup ported a party other than the Re publican, go into the Silence and emerge solemnly with "consider ed judgment " to do the same thing this year. As witness, The Oregonian, Sept. 23, and The Sat. Eve Post, SepV 29, 1956. Both eschew emo tion, the Oregonian declaring slogans and emotional issues aside," deems it "logical" to "keep Eisenhower in the White House;" the Post begins by "leav ing out emotional issues" but does so beneath Vt page-tall head line "The Country Still Need Eisenhower." Dear Sirs: Eisenhower (and particularly "Ike") IS the emo tional issue, and your party is certainly not putting it aside or leaving it out. On the contrary, it appears to be about the only one (you hope) you can depend upon, and Ike and his affection for the people and the people with their affection for Ike, are going to have ample opportunity to react emotionally over and over, over the country, no mat ter how wearing on Ike, or how confusing to the unemotional is sues at stake. By the way, one of the Demo cratic plans the Post opposes is the one condemning the wrongly named "right-to-work" laws. But representative secretary of labor Mitchell has also condemned POTLUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) A woman we know does not have any antipathy for the tirm "Egghead." "Because," she explains, "not all of them are cracked and some' of them are even hard-boiled." A subscriber called the news room the other morning to ask if anyone else had telephoned about the "bright red star, low in the eastern sky"? He reported his wife routed him out of bed at about 4:30 a.m. to look at it. It seemed to have a flaming tail, he said, and he hauled out his binoculars to take a look. They studied it for some time, and then returned to bed, still thinking about the odd star. When they got up later, about dawn, the star was still low in the eastern sky, but they got a better look at it a red bea con light atop one of the sur rounding hills. a A big headline In our fa vorite newspaper the other day said "Lenin Still Diety in Russia Bui Everyone Wants to Forget Stalin." Whereupon a subscriber, who modestly forgot to identi fy himself, clipped U and mailed it in, with the request to "Tell us more about Lenin's diet where he is now." Speaking of headlines, a five paragraph humorous column, which said nothing whatsoever about the climate,, appeared in a neighboring daily paper the other day under the heading of "Weather." The columnist was not Old Sunnyside, either. Good news, friendsl! October is . Potato Chip Month. The week ending Sept. 29 was National Television week. Also National Dog week.

The information above was culled, more or less casuaUy, from mail received in this office. Think what we might have done if we'd researched a bit. . ' Editorial Comment GIVING UP? The Southern Pacific, a great corporation, is apparently giving up. Passenger service, the Espee is deciding, is not worth fighting for. Service to "Rogue River" towns south of Eugene was halt ed more than a year ago. Now the firm wants to increase fares on the Shasta Daylight by 10 per cent, a move that is certainly not calculated to increase business. The fare increase, if granted, would apply only to fares for trips within Oregon. The step, in other words, would be anoth er in a series of steps to eliminate the relatively scanty traffic on short hauls. Already it is less than easy to book passage on the Shasta and the equally pleasant Cascade. In-state passengers are urged in stead to ride the old Klamath an experience which will drive the more sensitive passengers onto the airlines for keeps. The railroads' attitude (and we don't think this is limited to the Espee) is in marked contrast to the attitude of the phonograph industry which is bigger now than it was when it was "killed" by radio a quarter century ago. Phonographs were supposed to be as out-of-date as the linen duster as soon as radios began appearing in living rooms. But the phonograph industry im proved its product, did a master ful selling job, developed equip ment and demonstrated there was still room for the "Victrola." The phonograph people were demonstrating the spirit of "try," the spirit we like to think built America's industrial might. The railroad people are giving up. Eugene Register-Guard.
